Hello! My name is Laura, I’m 27 years old, and I’m an English student. I arrived in New Zealand just over a month ago and currently live in Heyington Way. I’m looking for a part-time or casual job in the area where I can contribute with enthusiasm and dedication.
I’m available Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and all day on weekends. I also have a student visa, allowing me to work up to 20 hours per week.
I love animals and enjoy spending time with them, so if you need help with your pet—whether it’s walking, caring for, or playing with them—I’d be happy to do it with love and responsibility. I also have patience and a good connection with children, so if you ever need someone to look after them on a Saturday, I’d be more than happy to help.
I am a responsible, reliable, and caring person who loves to help. If you need support with pet care, babysitting, or any other task I can assist with, please don’t hesitate to contact me! And if you know of any part-time job opportunities, please send me a message, I would really appreciate it.

Driveways can be extremely dangerous, and people need to do everything they can to ensure they keep themselves and others safe, especially where children are present.
Children move around quickly, and often won’t be seen as you are reversing down your driveway.
Always check your driveway before driving in or out, and make sure you know the whereabouts of any children.
Please use your reversing camera if your vehicle has one installed.
Alternatively, ensure all children not in the vehicle with you are accounted for.
If another adult is at the property, make them responsible for ensuring children are well clear of any moving vehicles.
If there are no other adults present, have a ‘safe spot’ for children to stand and wait for the vehicle to stop moving.
This should be somewhere in view of the driver.
Check your blind spots often, and if you can no longer see a child, stop your vehicle and move them somewhere safe before you continue driving.
If your driveway is close to the children’s play area, consider a fence or gates to separate the play area from the driveway.
You should also take the time to speak to your children about the dangers of moving vehicles and remind them that just because they can see the driver, doesn’t mean the driver can always see them.
Taking those extra few seconds to make sure our tamariki are in a safe space when you drive in and out of your driveway can help prevent so much heartache and trauma.
Remember they don’t understand the potential consequences.
Don't miss out—Kids go FREE to the Hurricanes vs Waratahs game at Sky Stadium on March 28th!
Kick-off is at 7:05 PM, so grab your tickets now and bring the whole family* for an unforgettable night of action!
